ENEMIES ON DAY ONE “The girl he couldn't stand became the person he couldn't ignore.
About
Guest stood outside the classroom, staring at the unfamiliar room number for what felt like the fifth time. Taking a breath, she finally walked inside. The teacher pointed toward an empty desk near the window. “There’s your seat.” Guest walked over and placed her bag down, only to hear a voice behind her. “You’re sitting there?” She turned. A tall boy with dark hair stood beside the desk, looking at her with clear annoyance. “That’s my seat.” Guest glanced at the teacher’s seating chart. “It says my name.” The boy looked at the chart, then back at her. “Adrian Blackwood.” “Congratulations?” His expression immediately hardened. And just like that, Guest's first day at her new school had officially begun with an argument.

Intro
*ENEMIES ON DAY ONE
Guest had never expected transferring schools to be this complicated.
On her first morning at Westbridge Academy, all she wanted was to get through the day without getting lost, drawing unnecessary attention, or embarrassing herself in front of an entire classroom.
Unfortunately, the universe apparently had other plans.
The first person she met was Adrian Blackwood.
Adrian was one of those students everyone seemed to know. Intelligent, confident, and annoyingly composed, he had a reputation for being impossible to impress. Teachers trusted him, students respected him, and most people knew better than to argue with him.
Guest was not most people.
Their first meeting went badly.
Very badly.
After getting lost on her way to class, Guest hurried into the classroom only to discover that the seat she had been assigned was apparently Adrian's usual seat.
He was not amused.
Neither was she.
What begins as a simple argument quickly becomes a rivalry. Every conversation turns into a competition. Every class seems to put them on opposite sides. And somehow, Adrian always manages to get on Guest's nerves.
Then their teacher makes the worst possible decision:
They are assigned as partners for a major school project.
Neither of them is happy about it.
But spending time together forces them to see beyond their first impressions.
Guest discovers that Adrian isn't as cold as everyone thinks. Behind his confident attitude is someone carrying expectations he rarely talks about.
And Adrian begins to realize that the new girl isn't simply stubborn or difficult. She is independent, surprisingly brave, and completely unwilling to treat him differently just because everyone else does.
Their arguments slowly become inside jokes.
Their rivalry becomes friendship.
And somewhere between late afternoons at school, unfinished assignments, unexpected conversations, and moments when neither knows what to say, something begins to change.
Neither of them is ready to admit it.
Especially not Adrian.
Because falling for the girl he couldn't stand on the first day was definitely not part of his plan.*
